This year’s Dublin Theatre Festival includes the debut of an unconventional Irish documentary-style play taken from hours of personal testimonies about living with HIV. Its writer, Shaun Dunne, talks to ACT UP Dublin’s Will St. Leger and Andrew Leavitt about inding an unexpected thirst to speak. Photo by Hazel Coonagh.

“I haven’t found any other process as emotional as this.” Shaun Dunne is talking about his new play, Rapids, which debuts at the Dublin Theatre Festival this month. An unconventional documentary theatre piece looking at instances of disclosure within the HIV community, Rapids was developed in collaboration with people living with HIV from a wide range of backgrounds.

About GCN

Our provocative cover by artist and designer, Niall Sweeney, celebrates ten years of Pantibar while cheekily harking back to a certain fetish club both he and Rory O'Neill (aka Panti) ran in the mid-90s. Inside we discuss Sweeney's long-term artistic relationship with O'Neill and how their friendship has informed the evolution of Dublin's queer scene over three decades (the full recording of which is available via GCN’s new podcast Q&A: The Queer and Alternative Podcast).
Elsewhere we talk to some high-flying champions of LGBT+ diversity in companies like Vodafone, Deloitte, Accenture Ireland, eir and Web Summit, about the benefits of bringing your authentic self to work, and the members of Intertech Ireland tell us about connecting the LGBT+ tech workforce. Chris O’Donnell hears from some non-national LGBTs who are effectively serving time in Ireland’s hellish Direct Provision centres about the double discrimination of being an LGBT+ asylum seeker. Shaun Dunne, author of a documentary-style play featuring the testimony of those living with HIV speaks to members of ACT UP ahead of its Dublin Theatre Festival run, and Ray O'Neill talks work/life balance. Plus, all the best news, opinion, reviews, events, and much more.
